Sandbag Walking Lunge
Walking lunges with a sandbag on the shoulders; the shifting load makes the trunk work far harder than a bar does.
How to do it
Setup
Sandbag across the shoulders behind the neck, hands steadying it.
Steps
- Lunge forward, torso tall under the shifting load.
- Drive through and step into the next lunge.
- Re-settle the bag whenever it slides.
Common mistakes
Fighting the shift with a lean: absorb it with the trunk, stay tall. Bag riding the neck: on the SHOULDERS. Speed: the wobble is the workout; walk it slow.
Breathing
Inhale into the lunge, exhale driving through.
